Linus Torvalds 0f1a7b3fac timer-of: don't use conditional expression with mixed 'void' types
Randy Dunlap reports on the sparse list that sparse warns about this
expression:

        of_irq->percpu ? free_percpu_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt) :
                free_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt);

and honestly, sparse is correct to warn.  The return type of
free_percpu_irq() is 'void', while free_irq() returns a 'const void *'
that is the devname argument passed in to the request_irq().

You can't mix a void type with a non-void types in a conditional
expression according to the C standard.  It so happens that gcc seems to
accept it - and the resulting type of the expression is void - but
there's really no reason for the kernel to have this kind of
non-standard expression with no real upside.

The natural way to write that expression is with an if-statement:

        if (of_irq->percpu)
                free_percpu_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt);
        else
                free_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt);

which is more legible anyway.

I'm not sure why that timer-of code seems to have this odd pattern.  It
does the same at allocation time, but at least there the types match,
and it makes sense as an expression.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
